    Protestants-biblically prove ONE Mediator

    Even when they first passed, you didn't from time to time? Even passing their picture on days you may be depressed? Also, I'm what is known as a LIBERAL Christian. I don't take the whole Bible literally. I hold it in regard, but it is not my *sole* authority. I also believe in trusting my...

    'Occupy a Desk' Job Fair Rejected By OWS

    They voluntarily enter into this debtor situation because our society says that in order to make a reasonable living, you have to have an education. How many, say, cashiers at gas stations make enough to live off of? What is our society's opinion of someone who does that job, in comparison to...

    Protestants-biblically prove ONE Mediator

    Speaking as a non-Catholic, and as one who doesn't have time to read through 13 pages of the thread, it seems to me like this: when you're sick or going through a hard time, you ask your friends, family, etc. to pray for you, right? So in line with the Catholic belief that the saints are alive...

    Hanukkah!

    Out of curiosity, those of you Christians, other than Messianics, who celebrate Chanukah, what are your reasons? I know the Messianic reasonings, as I have a good friend who was Messianic for a period in her life, but why everyone else?

    Ask the New Agey, Tree-Huggin Hippie!

    Do you have any advice on how someone who lives in a county with a HORRIBLE recycling program can start recycling/becoming more eco-friendly? I already do the small things, like turn lights off, keep the A/C at a decent temp, etc. and drive a car that gets very good gas mileage.

    Ask the New Agey, Tree-Huggin Hippie!

    That's pretty much what "hippie" seems to be for me. I consider myself a bit of a hippie as well.... I'm all about peace, social justice, as eco-friendly as I can be(still trying to figure out how to go about recycling when my county has an ATROCIOUS recycling program, really sad), religious...

    Should a man have the right to choose abortion?

    Maybe I'm just overly cautious, or observant, but I would think if a guy were cautious enough to wear a condom before having sex to avoid pregnancy, then since he's the one that wears the condom, he would notice a hole in it,or at the very least notice when she took it off, and stop having sex...

    Should a man have the right to choose abortion?

    Whether or not a man has a say in it(and I believe they should, in some cases at least), there should at the very least be more mental health resources for men who are involved in this issue in some way. Our society expects men to be the defenders and providers. If someone is a father of a child...

    UCC at Sacramento Pride

    My church not only attended our local pride event, it was our towns very first pride event, and one of my church's fellow members helped start it :) I didn't get to go though :(

    6/22-7/6-Forum Meeting to Discuss the Purpose of NCR

    I currently see no problem with the SoP as previously mentioned, with the exception of a possible name change or subforum to accomodate the atheists/agnostics on the board. The only real contention I've had so far is that there is sometimes no explanation as to *why* a thread may or may not be...

    Nag Hammabi Library & Gnostic Christians ??

    I suggest reading some books by Elaine Pagels and Bart Ehrman(sp?), who have some books on Gnosticism and early Gnostic beliefs. What follows comes from my understanding of Gnosticism based on documentaries, books, and as someone interested in Gnostic tradition as practiced by "revival"...

    What a gleeful show Glee is....NOT!

    I love Glee. To me, it deals with a lot of issues kids today have to deal with in a way that is more humorous and light-hearted than other shows. - Quinn got pregnant. If you watch the whole season, you see how she struggles in dealing with teen pregnancy and the turmoil it causes. It clearly...
